  • Look ahead! It was just a bad day.

    There’s a reason why I am doing this. I have had a very shitty start to my morning and I wanted to write about it to feel better. Or not? Or at least I have a way to pour my heart out.

    Just this morning, I took a look at myself in the mirror, right before I was stepping out for work, early in the day, with no hint of cosmetics, as yet attempting to open my eyes. I understood how extraordinary I looked. It stunned me for a brief moment and I would not like to accept what I saw. Why? All things considered, not on account of I look “awful” without makeup. In any case, how I am molded to see myself with layers of foundation, concealers and all things not natural every day. I had forgotten how my skin or face actually looked. This is just a statement to prove how I feel about my own skin. I am not hesitant or I don’t refrain from saying that I don’t like makeup. I absolutely love it. It makes me feel good. But it also pulls me back on some days. Maybe, that’s normal. The next lines that I am about to write will not justify makeup. But, the reason for all this is only because my day started with this thought and I had to write it out. And it simply continued to be bad from all the other aspects.

    Why look ahead and get over things, people ask me. I believe it’s the best to always look ahead. We all have bad days. Bad days are a part & parcel of all our lives. You cannot, simply cannot be happy every day.

    So you’ve had a not good, terrible day, and you just want to make yourself feel better right away (corny rhyme totally not intended there). Trust me, I get it. Bad days are the worst, and after a bad day, you probably just want to crawl into a hole (basically,  your bed, with a bottle of beer and reruns of Friends), and never see the light of day again. That’s great, but maybe consider these other ways to feel better after a bad day.

    Maybe you got into a screaming match with your bestie or had a bad day at work or a fight with the man of the house. But, take a deep breath, because it’s all going to be OKAY. No, seriously. It will be.

    Whatever caused your bad day, take solace in the fact that there are things you can do to make yourself a little more zen and centered before tomorrow comes. That way, when you’re feeling 100 percent, you can tackle your problems head-on.

    Some foolproof ways to get rid of a bad day (my ways, mind you). You are most welcome to try these.

    1. Come back home and drink beer. Sleep it off then.
    2. Watch Friends.
    3. Talk to your BFF/man of the house/boyfriend/girlfriend/parents
    4. Listen to some good music. Preferably Metal. It will calm your brain as fuck. ( I can share a list of bands too.)
    5. Or Porcupine Tree. Always Porcupine Tree.
    6. Bring out a pack of smokes and READ.

    I have whined my share of how crappily my day started. Time to get back to work.

  • The day I vowed to start writing again !

    So, its been quite some time, actually years since I left writing. I have been waiting to start again but then I was caught up.

    Now, when I started a blog, it was for me to think what I really want to write about. Knowing my hobbies; food, travel and fashion (trust me, fashion in my dictionary excludes make up to a great extent :p) are my forte.

    For me, fashion means wearing clothes that would make me confident and would bring out the best in me. It absolutely doesn’t mean that I have to follow the “current trend” or follow what is in the market. I believe in wearing clothes that makes me comfortable, look smart and at the same time is not over the top. Talking about make-up, I have never been into make up so much. But then, I have to admit, after my Wedding, I realized the importance and the gracefulness of make up! Might sound silly, but since that day, I have started wearing make up (which again, is quite unbelievable for my best friends).

    Now if I start talking about food, this blog would just go on and on. Food has been my best friend after books since I was in 9th Grade. Food is something that pulls my interest and it not only gives me the inspiration to try different places (which in turn has made me a big foodie), but also pushes me to cook different dishes. I have lived in Delhi for 3 years, during my college life and I have explored nooks and corners of Delhi for food. From trying out shabby places to extravagant and luxurious places, I have had food from all these places. And the joy of good food for me is so much more than the ambiance. When it comes to food, I love experimenting, be it any cuisine. Also, I am not restricted to any meat. Any four legged or two legged can be eaten by me.

    Travelling is another hobby of mine which I guess is the best hobby. Travelling makes me feel alive and helps me learn so much about places and of course allows me to take a break from this hustle bustle. However, my job doesn’t let me travel that much. I still somehow find out time to travel in every 2-3 months. I recently had a trip to Darjeeling and I must admit, I have never loved mountains more. That place is magical. The view of Kanchenjunga from Keventers while having a pork platter and chocolate shake is the best thing I could ask for. I think there is some weird connection between bongs and Darjeeling. For that matter, Bongs and alcohol and Bongs and cigarettes also have a weird connection.

    Okay, so now this blog is about mixed feelings. Stuffs that I like, stuffs I am going to blog about and some other random stuff. This is because I wanted to start off blogging with the things that I have in mind and the things that matter to me.

    This is something that I want to do. I don’t want my blog to be restricted to just one thing. I have been an explorer and I promise, my blogs will be a mixture of food, fashion and travel and I will put in as much effort as I can to not make it monotonous. This marks the start of my blog and I will be back real soon with some of the amazing recipes that I have and my sense of styling. Till then, keep reading 🙂

    Whole lotta love
